4. Swap One Meal

Swap one of your daily meals for a protein shake and you'll save yourself a few hundred calories every day while providing your muscles with much needed protein. Head to your local health food store for a quality protein powder and add some spinach or kale, chia seeds, berries and either coconut water and/or almond milk and you are set to go!

For a quick energy kick try this

Green Metabolism Booster Smoothie:

1/4 avocado

1/2 cucumber

1 pear

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ice

blend until smooth...enjoy!

5. Drink more H2O

Your body is largely made up of water and needs water to function properly. Skip soda, reduce caffeine and sip on lemon water all day long to increase energy. Fill up the biggest bottle you can find, preferable at least 2L and go at it. Fill your bottle with lemon slices to improve the taste and help cleanse and detox the body!

6. Get Fishy

This is a very simple step to boost your health. Modify your grocery list by buying fish for dinner at least once a week, and you will protect your heart from disease and increase your chances for a longer life. Go for salmon, trout, flounder, or tuna. Stay away from farmed and buy wild.

7. Create Pockets of Peace

Reducing stress is key to improving your health. So many aches, pains and diseases are triggered by stress.
